Didactic Panels - An Exhibition of Short Stories

 Didactic Panels is an exhibition of six short stories mounted to look like informational panels typically found in galleries and museums. Next to the panels are smaller objects and images, visual art inspired by the stories that have been created to compliment the text. The text and art display is an inverse representation of how words and images are traditionally arranged in public spaces, with the larger panels providing the focus of the exhibition, instead of visual art, and the smaller objects and images supplying an attendant function, instead of the text. The stories on the panels are also deliberately ambiguous, emotional and ambivalent and not intended to instruct, patronize or be didactic.
 Didactic Panels is an exhibition of oppositional contrasts. A liminal space between text and art, reading and looking, presentation and representation, designation and function. A place where stories are experienced collectively and publicly or privately and personally, in both a solo and a group exhibition.
